TRD strut bar ??????????
i've seen a TRD strut bar on a gs4 but never seen it on a gs3
My question is will it fit on a gs3?
I was planing on going all TRD and PLP under the hood

Actually, I don't believe the TRD STB will fit on a GS3. The bar is round instead of flat. The engine sits higher and the bar won't clear without spacers. Even if you do spacers high enough to clear the engine (and you can pretty much forget the engine cover if you have one
), you will be hitting the hood.

I think there are only a few that fit the GS3, like the UGO and the RMM. I dont think the TRD will fit, at least that is what I was told a year ago when I was looking for mine.

nop it will not fit. even with the gs400 it will rub on the engine cover a bit if installed slightly off. it's going to hit on the gs3
for the gs3 you need something else, ugo for one

So just for clarification, can you put 1 on a GS430 with the engine cover?
